The case file

What we built for Saucies 27.

Saucies 27 has served handcrafted pizza in Vernon since 2018, with premium ingredients and options for pickup or delivery. For a restaurant like Saucies, the website is not simply a menu. It is an active ordering counter that has to stay clear when customers are hungry and the kitchen is busy.

We developed a custom ordering experience with Express.js, PostgreSQL, Stripe, and Tailwind CSS. Menu data, order details, and payment move through a purpose-built flow that keeps customers focused on choosing food, confirming fulfilment, and completing checkout.

The platform gives Saucies direct control over its online customer experience without forcing its personality into a generic marketplace template. It supports a clean menu, dependable payment processing, and an ordering journey designed around the restaurant's actual operation.

Building a custom order flow instead of a marketplace listing was the bigger decision here. It costs more up front than plugging into a delivery app, but it keeps Saucies in direct contact with its own customers, its own data, and its own margins, rather than paying a percentage to a platform for every order.

The brief

The problem, and how we solved it.

Challenge

Online pizza ordering includes menu choices, pickup or delivery decisions, customer details, payment, and clear order confirmation. Every extra step creates friction, especially during peak meal periods and on mobile devices.

Solution

We built a focused order flow backed by PostgreSQL and Express.js, with Stripe handling secure payments. Responsive menu and cart interfaces keep the journey understandable from the first item to final confirmation.

Problems solved

What was in the way.

Three concrete problems on the old experience, and the fixes we shipped.

  1. A generic restaurant page could not support direct pickup and delivery orders.

    The custom application connects menu browsing, fulfilment choices, order data, and payment in one flow.

  2. Large menu interfaces can become difficult to use on a phone.

    Mobile-first categories, item controls, and cart feedback keep ordering actions close at hand.

  3. The restaurant needed a direct digital relationship with customers.

    A branded ordering platform keeps the experience with Saucies rather than sending customers to a marketplace storefront.
